An amazing woman was born into our
world in 1831. She was expected by the Eastern Masters of
Wisdom who were looking for an instrument at that time to
communicate to the rest of humanity with. Her name was
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (HPB).
Being of Russian descent, the frontal lobes of her brain
were similar to the frontal lobes of humanity before the
1300’s. This meant that for her, that she could perceive the
spiritual astral-etheric realms in the very same way we
perceive sense impressions with our eyes and ears. She was a
positive medium which means she was self aware and awake
during her communications with the higher supersensory
realms of existence. Negative mediums are unconscious during
their communications with higher beings who use their bodies
as instruments. HPB also had another attribute, total recall
of all that she perceived in the higher realms.
The first brotherhoods to contact her were the Egyptian and
the Europeans. They were using her see into the higher
realms for them. Many of the brotherhoods no longer had
their own clairvoyant sight because the minor Kali Yuga
(Dark Age) had not yet ended. Had they known that HPB had
total recall they would have never allowed her to know their
secrets. By the time they realized this, it was too late,
HPB had already seen more then they could. This would later
put an enmity between HPB and these brotherhoods.
However, HPB’s greatest adversary was an American
brotherhood who
warned HPB not to teach reincarnation in America. Using a
ceremonial magic ritual, they put HPB into a type of
spiritual prison. This prison was of such a nature that she
could only see into the spiritual worlds in a totally
subjective way. She could not see beyond herself.
It was at this point that the Eastern Himalaya Masters
entered her life and decided to free her from this prison.
HPB was in London at the time when she first saw her Master
M. She recognized him from the many dreams she had about him
during her life. He was in a parade at the time and could
not talk to her.
In the past, HPB had fought in war, was shot in the
shoulder, stabbed, and left for dead. She proudly carried
the irremovable slug in her shoulder all her life. She was a
Russian aristocrat, very feminist in her independence, and
highly educated. Thus, several days after the parade while
sitting in a park, her very tall Master M approached her. He
explained to her all the lifetimes they had spent together,
and gave her a choice in this lifetime. She could either
serve the Eastern Brotherhood or become a concert pianist
(she was a great pianist). She chose to serve the Masters.
HPB was taken to Tibet for seven years and educated into
some of the highest mysteries. The masters were concerned
that Western culture was at a crucial turning point and
needed to be stirred away from crass materialism. With the
founding of the Theosophical Society, and the two
metaphysical publications Isis Unveiled, and The Secret
Doctrine, a foundation was created to offset this. HPB was
capable of simple spiritual phenomena such as the
duplication of small objects like mirrors. She wrote The
Secret Doctrine without ever leaving her apartment. She
never visited a library to check her references. She could
search the reference volumes on the astral plane without
leaving her desk.
Because of HPB and the Theosophical Society, we have Rudolph
Steiner and the Anthroposophical movement, the founders of
the Golden Dawn and Alistair Crowley, Moira and S. L.
MacGregor Mathers, and the Kabbalah movement, Jiddu
Krishnamirti, A. E. Waite and the Ryder Tarot deck, Alice
Bailey and Lucifer publishing. These are just a few of the
people who came out of this spiritual revival of the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. All of these
movements lead to another generation of New Age thinkers
such as David Spangler in the 1970’s which lead to the
Harmonic Conversion movements of the late 1980’s.
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky leaves us with a legacy of
knowledge about the constitution of humanity and the true
spiritual cosmology of existence. Till she came, all these
teachings had been suppressed for several millennia from
public view. As I lecture at various places, I see more and
more a thirst for understanding and greater detail, about
the etheric body, the astral body, the Higher Self, and
more. The time of lite weight superficial understanding has
now passed. It has now been over 100 years since the ending
of the minor Kali Yuga in 1898, and the 1888 version of The
Secret Doctrine.
When Helena Petrovna Blavatsky passed away, the Eastern
Masters seemed to have backed away from direct outward
intervention with humanity. Instead, perhaps, they knew that
the time had come when we must each interact with our own
Higher Self, our own true inner Guru and Teacher. The old
adage of the Masters plainly states, “When the students are
ready, the teachers will appear.” Because of HPB, and to
those whom she gave spiritual birth, are we not now ready to
receive and grow? Many are called, but few are chosen. HPB
was one of the chosen. Deep in your heart, can you now hear
the call? Thank you Helena Petrovna Blavatsky for your
sacrifice and loyalty to the truth. “There is no religion,
philosophy, or science, higher than truth.”
